Congrats on that for sure but what is the next step? Does anyone see a proper resolution coming out anytime soon? From my perspective if these companies want to pay their pilots less why not then just drag out all of these "discussions" too the unforseeable future. For them it would be better than having to pay say 30k a year to an FO ( just for example ) and just leave everything as is.
I have to apply to some regional sometime soon (sigh) and I'm curious about how things might shape up..
Cheers.
* please real answers need only apply
I should have also said in my original post but what is an acceptable TA for these companies? Is 30K a year for a 1st yr FO a good start instead of say 24k.. Thats a 25% increase in pay and is livable if your single. I know each company would be different but I'm just trying to figure out if there is a general consensus of an idea about what should happen to the regional s and what can be worked out.
** again real answers non baiting flaming whatever need only apply please.
Cheers again.
